The socks were a lot easier than you might think, at least once I gave up on trying to knit them toe up like I do for human socks and just knit them as traditional cuff down socks.
I love that crochet hat pattern, it's from a Japanese magazine called "European Handknitting" the Spring/Summer 2009 issue. I think the way the colors pooled make it especially eye-catching.
There's patterns out there for "distressed" sweaters, there's one in Rowan #43. The runs are easy, you yarn over and then some rows later drop the stitch that started from the yarn over. I'd imagine that making a double yarn over and then only knitting into it once would make a generous hole as the extra yarn would work into the neighboring stitches and loosen them up.
